Some Good, Some Bad

Consider the power requirements of any add-on video cards you may be considering as this is a relatively low power unit. I would plan on using USB for all of your add-on peripherals and/or firewire.

Super quiet, the only thing you will hear out of this little silver box is your hard drive...so, get a quiet one if you want silence. Super small form factor, well built and thought out layout

Could not get certain PCI cards to work (be detected). I used an ATI AGP card in conjunction with an ATI HDTV tuner card and after 3 days of monkeying with it, I swapped in a regular ATI Theatrix 550 tuner and it worked. The HD card works fine in other...

very disappointed

The machine does not boot up when a Pentium D chip is installed. There is an option to flash the BIOS but that requires a floppy drive on the machine which I don't have. The shuttle support site is very sketchy and unhelpful. I would not recommend this...

Looks good, well-written instruction manual

All items reqd for assembly not supplied- in particular, the processor thermal compund, BIOS does not support Pentium D processors
